Pimp your pavement!
April 21, 2010
Although we try to only use this blog for posts about our project, something occasionally catches our eye that we can’t resist sharing. So here’s a post about Pimp Your Pavement, the brilliant new campaign launched by the crafty cultivator Richard Reynolds.
For many years, Richard has been the brains behind Guerilla Gardening – a movement which encourages people to ‘fight the filth with forks and flowers’, by improving public spaces with flowers and plants (often planted in secret at night!)
The newly launched Pimp Your Pavement campaign aims to bring guerilla gardening closer to home, by encouraging people to brighten up their streets by planting on pavements and tree bases.
At the end of our last workshop, we gave everyone who attended a bag of bulbs to take away and plant wherever they wanted. If you’re interested in how you can brighten up your street, find out more at the Pimp your Pavement website.

We’ve redesigned ELCRP’s standard ‘Sorry you were out…‘ leaflet, and have made one specfically for Maiden Lane. It includes lots of the nice things that people said about the scheme at our recent workshop!
How many great ideas can you fit on a post-it note?
